And on Thursday we go to court - Thread. The Self employed income supports scheme (SEISS) discriminates against women in the way it has been calculated.
By not excluding periods of maternity leave the Government are financially penalising vulnerable new mothers for doing the most important job there is - caring for the next generation. 75k women have received a payment that is well below that of their male colleagues because,
according to the Chancellor, taking maternity leave is the same as being sick or going on holiday. This is not only utterly insulting but it sends out a very dangerous message about how this Government views mothers and the integral role we play in a well-functioning society.
On Thursday we will be defending women’s rights and showing the Government that they cannot ride roughshod over the equality act.

Wish us luck! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-53155724
